Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Virtually Staged. Welcome to 16215 Ivy Lake Drive, where lakefront living comes with the space, privacy, and updates buyers are looking for. Set on an oversized .37-acre fully fenced lot in gated Ivy Lake Estates, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,732 square feet, a separate office, three-car garage, direct lake access—and it's NOT in a flood zone. Step inside to soaring ceilings, crown molding and rich teak hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. Formal living and dining spaces provide plenty of room for entertaining, while the kitchen opens to the family room for a more casual everyday gathering space. The split-bedroom floor plan offers flexibility, including a fourth bedroom with its own private entrance and an updated full bath—ideal for guests, multigenerational living or added privacy. A separate office can easily serve as a fifth bedroom when needed. The primary suite is tucked away on the opposite side of the home, creating a private retreat with generous space, while a separate laundry room adds extra storage and everyday functionality. Then head outside, because this is where the home really stands apart. The oversized screened lanai includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen overlooking Lake Ivy. Beyond it, the fenced backyard offers a pavered path to the firepit, direct lake access and plenty of room to add a pool, launch a kayak, let the dogs run or simply enjoy the open space. The renovated cabana bath is conveniently accessible from the backyard. And the updates buyers care about are already handled: **ROOF 2024, HVAC 2023 and WATER HEATER 2021.** The home also features natural gas for the cooktop, ovens, heating system, dryer and whole-house generator, plus solar panels currently producing enough electricity to power the home. Lakefront, fenced, updated and flexible—with a three-car garage and a location convenient to schools, shopping and the Suncoast Parkway. This is the kind of home that gives you plenty of ways to actually live in it.
